Brega checkpoint

Brega checkpoint

Taken on 2011-03-04

At the main checkpoint near the strategic oil town of Brega, men with what appeared to be better equipment and gear than their untrained comrades began to assemble. They wore emblems indicating their position as engineers or paratroopers and said they were defected "special forces" from Benghazi who were awaiting orders. Despite their more impressive appearance, they still seemed to lack the kind of discipline one might see in Western militaries, or perhaps even Gaddafi's own forces.

On the main road into the key oil town of Brega, a defected army officer attempted to coordinate a counterattack against Gaddafi forces who stormed the airport, university and oil field early in the morning. Plainclothes rebels approached the officer constantly to suggest ideas and relay information, but the crowd scattered after an air force jet dropped a bomb around 80 metres away.

Hundreds of onlookers at the Ajdabiya checkpoint rushed to the scene of an accident involving an M40 recoilless rifle - essentially a giant tank barrel mounted on a tripod. Someone had fired the rifle and exploded another nearby round sitting in its crate. A bystander was severely injured; his bloody foot is visible in the center of the photograph as he is carried away.
